Tomahawk
Liner notes
A driving folk rock song with vocals about Tomahawk, Wisconsin, capturing the spirit of the North Woods and the roaring paper mills. The lyrics sing of the historic Frenchtown neighborhood and the massive dam built by the Tomahawk Land and Boom Company. Electric and acoustic guitars blend to reflect the town's logging history and the modern hum of snowmobiles on winter trails.
